Winter Weather

We recently had our share of winter weather. Each winter we always hope for one big snow that is enough for the kids to play in and keep Todd home from work. A couple of weeks ago, we got it. We got about 4 inches of snow and then about an inch of ice and then about 4 more inches of snow. The kids had a blast! The one thing that we didn't hope for was all the ice which knocked out our power. Thankfully, our power was only out for about 32 hours. The last time we lost power it was out for 7 days (when Hurricane Ike came through). So, we were pleasantly suprised that it was only a day and a half this time. We were very thankful that our neighbors had a fireplace where we could hang out and warm up. We are also very thankful for friends who didn't lose power who fed us supper and let us spend the 2nd night without power with them.

Brandon and Bekah made light sabers out of icicles!

Todd enjoys an icicle snack! It's low fat!

I think you are doing this the wrong way, Brandon!

This is the temperature reading in our house!

Todd took some beautiful photos!
